Etrian Odyssey, developed and published by Atlus, is a long-standing and beloved dungeon-crawling RPG series. Originally designed for the Nintendo 3DS, the franchise has amassed a considerable following with its unique blend of engaging gameplay and immersive storytelling.
This series has seen five major entries so far, all predominantly on the Nintendo 3DS platform. Etrian Odyssey Nexus, released in 2019, served as the concluding chapter for the franchise on the 3DS platform. It marked the end of an era for the series but also heralded the beginning of a new chapter.
